Bay of Plenty
It's been close to six years since my last haircut... yuh, I know right? It's become a huge part of my identity and I feel that to take the mop off for no good reason would be wasteful, but it didn't take long to find what I could do. Mental health is an incredibly important issue, particularly in New Zealand where suicide rates are sky high and statistically speaking, not a whole lot of positive change can be seen. However, while this is the case, changing a culture around mental health takes time and these statistics only represent the past. The future of these statistics is determined by what we do now and a great change around the perception of mental health is taking place.
The old stigma around having mental health issues is disappearing slowly but surely. With mental health being talked about freely on all platforms, understanding what it really is is becoming far easier. There are many people and organisations encouraging positive dialogue around the subject, while others offer management strategies and ways of relief.
My aim is to raise awareness and show my support for those who support others with mental health. These changes are happening thanks to of all of us, but in large part to those who dedicate themselves to helping others. Help me lend these legends a hand.
So many deal with mental health, whether they've been diagnosed or not. I think it's important to realise that these health issues real and common but can also be combated. It may only take someone to listen and talk to, but it's comforting to know that there are groups dedicated to helping when more is needed. Help me lend these legends a hand or two to show our support.
